So you picked an ascendancy for pious path alone? Just own it

Also EO works on every part of fire trap

That being said I get the feedback so you mean having a few dump passives essentially that give a generic bonus just for when the other nodes aren't acceptable?

It isn't much of an addition but equally its not bad either.

Yes I pick inquisitor because I really like the regen, it feels really nice and I think it can be as tanky as juggernaut with proper gear but that's not the point.
What really makes inquisitor unique to me is that it enables to have both great life and es regeneration making hybrid builds tanky, the rest is just scaling damage but if you don't go crit or battlemage it's not ideal.
Inquisitor doesn't have much of a choice for the ascendancy unlike many other with 2/3 standalone 2 points paths so I feel like theres something missing from an ascendancy design point of view.
The total ascendancy passives is higher than some ascendancies but the the crit and battlemage path are not generic good for any build unlike augury of penitence.
The worst part is that almost nobody picks up Instruments of Virtue in softcore, that proves how little choice there is when building inquisitor which is sad.

Also about EO see for yourself in pob, it increases the fire trap total damage but not the burning ground which is what matters most.
It's worth picking up if you're near it, about 10% more dmg for fire trap with my current build when I'm checking it but otherwise not really worth going there just for it.

edit: i'm reading the wiki for this

edit2: yes its of course it works its burning damage

Its ele damage with hits and ailments. The burning ground is neither.

I stand corrected its EO I've been reading wrong for ages lmao I bet they changed it when they made it skill specific and I never noticed.

Sorry gladiatorpie you right, thanks for specifying it was EO specifically

Do you have examples?
I've taken a look through other ascendancies and most 2 points paths usually have generic good stats for most builds.
Righteous providence is quite the extreme case where you pretty much gain nothing from it except a bit of hp, which is very sad for 2 ascendancy points.
If you take something like Augury of Penitence thats generic good for elemental damage.

Gladiator is perhaps the worst. If you play Bleed Bow you have 2 good nodes. The new Chieftain has this problem too.

Yeah true I used to be all about lacerate glad bleed with soul tether for the life as extra es + es overleech back in heist/ritual/harvest before they nerfed both soul tether and reigning veteran. You used to have spell block equals attack block and that felt really good defensively.
I think arena challenger is a great choice as 3rd lab but then outmatch and outlast is a problem because it only works for dual wielding when people would play bow bleed or 1h + shield (also it's on kill so useless for bossing) and then your other 4th choice painforged is meh because nobody is playing with counterattacks so its mostly just 10% block and a bit of stun avoid.
